Magazine Layout Idea Plan 1

This is the first draft of my magazine front cover layout. I have included the main features:pug, masthead, photograph and splash.

Colour Schemes

I used a colour schemes website in order to find out which colours i wanted to use for my magazine. I plan to use a red/pink colour scheme as my magazine's target audience/market is young girls as it is a pop magazine.

Pop Music Magazine Font Ideas

These are the fonts that will fit in with the pop theme of my music magazine. I asked the students in my class to choose the font that they thought would be the most effective for a pop music magazine. 6 of the 11 students in my class said that 'minipop' was their favourite. 2 said that 'poprock was their favourite. 2 said that 'cutiepop' was their favourite. 1 student said that '60's pop' was their favourite. Therefore, i will use the font 'minipop' for my magazine cover.

School Magazine Front Cover Draft 3 Final Draft

This is the final draft of my school magazine front cover.
In order to improve my second draft, i changed the background colour as when i asked some students their opinions, they said that the background colour was boring as it was plain white. I also changed the name of my school magazine as when i asked some students their opinion, they said that they didn't like the name 'Biddulph High Flyer' and they thought that it didn't suit the magazine.

School Magazine Contents Page Draft 2

This is the second draft of my School magazine contents page.
In order to improve my first draft, i re-arranged the sub-titles and increased the size of them so that they filled the whole page and there is no longer empty space at the bottom of the page. I also added another photograph showing the school acheiving their outstanding Ofstead report.
